BUYERS: INSPECTION AND REPAIRS

WE CAREFULLY GUIDE OUR BUYERS THROUGH
THE CHALLENGE OF INSPECTION AND REPAIRS

Many buyers forget that the price isn’t the only or the last negotiation point in a real estate purchase. There are a number of contingencies and processes that happen before closing, and one that frequently causes deals to evaporate is the inspection and repair negotiation process.

Inspections in a real estate deal encompass many property aspects:

Structure

Roof

Mechanical equipment

Plumbing

Electrical

Pests & insect infestation

Mold & other environmental hazards

Wells & water quality

Septic systems

While your deal may not require them all, and some may be combined and provided by a single inspector, it’s ourjob to help you to order the proper inspections, schedule them, and make sure that they’re completed on time. Failure to complete inspections and object to their results by deadline dates can result in the buyer’s inability to take any action based on the late results. We make sure this doesn’t happen.

Once an inspection is completed, there can be issues uncovered that you weren’t expecting and want to have addressed by the seller. This is a second negotiation in the contract process. We go over inspection results with our buyers and prepare documents that are required to request seller action and corrections. Sellers do not normally have an obligation to undertake corrective action, so it becomes a critical negotiation, especially if the problems are significant.

We’re here for our buyers to assist in these negotiations, as next to selling price, inspections and subsequent repairs are the biggest killer of real estate deals. Sometimes creativity needs to be applied to keep your home deal moving when the seller balks at your repair or corrective action requests. We’re experts, as we do this every day. We also maintain an extensive contractor list that can yield just the right contractor to get a job done at a price the seller will agree to.

The key to keeping a deal going with inspection problems is for us to be involved every step of the way, as it’s something we do on a regular basis. We’ll make sure that every resource is employed to keep your home purchase on track and gain every possible concession from the sellers.

From Our Satisfied Customers

Becoming a family tradition...I used Right Choice Realty when I bought my first house and since then three of my own family members used your services. You have been very helpful, given great advice when buying and selling, and made sure that I got the best deal. Personally, I am using Right Choice for the 2nd time to find a new property for investment.

Ibrahim Qattan, Wylie TX

Christy is such a wonderful person...She went over and above the call when I needed help in finding a place to live and even provided a hotel room for me when the condos were not ready to move in as promised. I will always look to Christy for all my future housing needs. Thanks so much Christy, you are the best!

Alicia F., Dallas TX

We keep making the right choice...Right Choice was a great help to me and my husband in finding our perfect home. You took the time we needed in showing us many homes and helping us make the right decision for us. You took the time to walk us through all steps along the way with a smile on your face. This is the second home Right Choice Realty has helped us buy and if we decide to go for a third we know we will have you help us again.

Dena Barnes, Allen TX

We are forever grateful...Kollen & I want to thank you for all you did for us during the selling process of our previous home. We understand it was a little unorthodox & put you in an awkward position, but you handled it with the utmost grace and professionalism, as well as integrity & honesty. P.S. We will recommend you to anyone we know looking to sell/buy!

Patty & Kollen Brower, Allen TX

We have owned 5 homes...

We have never had such a smooth sale. We were kept well informed every step of the way. The advice you gave us was on target and we received a full price offer. We couldn’t be more pleased.

Diana Sitker

We were so impressed with your customer service...

You were so attentive to us, helping us find a home that fit our needs although we were 3 hours away! So we called on you again to help us sell our home. You and your team were focused on our needs and the plan your team put together helped secure a contract on our house in less then 15 days! But the best part, as always, was your customer service– late or early phone calls, emails and text, you were there every step of the way! Can not say thank you loud enough!
